[Q] Can the lock-screen brightness be changed? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed on my S3 when i have a dark picture set on the lock screen and the home screen the lock screen seems to be allot brighter.
Can this be changed in the settings somewhere or is it just my S3?
I have switched auto brightness off, I've looked in all the settings and cant seem to find anything, its not a major issue but just annoying!
cheers.

Bump
No one?
Is my phone the only one

You're not the only one!
This kinda drives me nuts. I like having a primarily black background and lock screen on the amoled display. But on the s3, the lock screen is brighter and less contrast so the black is grey.
I would love to fix that apart from using an alternative locker.

SOLVED [Q] screen randomly goes full brightness.

As the title says my GFs 10.1 will go full brightness at random times. Only way to change it back is to go into setting. The slider is all the way down but have to slide it to full then back down. Any ideas guys?
The fix is: Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK. Thanks bd85!

I have had this issue as well when using auto brightness function. Only when viewing photo albums. Very annoying. I no longer use the auto brightness function now. Little issues like this drive me crazy. Add this to the keyboard lag and other small issues and i start to question the purchase.
Thankfully i found this site to help me realize its not just me...misery loves company. Lol.
Have you guys tried to shut off the option in setting that's can analyze the screen color and more and the adjust the screen for power savings.
I have noticed what you are mention. And it only appears in movie's because the picture change often so the tab tried to compensate the colors often.
Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK.
And I am not talking about the auto brightness that you can access from clicking on the lower right part of your screen

That seemed to be it. Didn't think to check that since the Xoom doesn't have that setting. One thing i wish the xoom had was the whole different wallpaper for lock screen thing the 10.1 has.

screen temperature or color changing?

so I've got the screen set to dynamic for the color mode and i unchecked the adjust screen tone thing, but whenever I have a white background, the screen actually dims the white.. so it's not pure white. it will lower the screen brightness a tad and it's weird.
I do not use auto brightness, either. it's set at a constant 40 percent. this must be a power saving feature, though, and power saver is OFF. any ideas what it could be or if it's just a feature?

It might be the auto adjust screen tone found in the display options

no lol i said i have that unchecked
Woops, well then Idk, that's kind of odd. I leave everything on auto and seems to work great for me. Try putting it back to auto from dynamic and see if it still does that.

Yeah, I get the same issue, and I have all of my settings set the way you mentioned, except I have my screen on "Standard" display. It's very annoying to say the least! Hopefully we will get a custom rom that will address this issue!

this is starting to annoy me... when on a bright screen the phone is changing the brightness to a lower amount randomly... it makes no sense and it doesn't do it consistently... it'll just start getting lower every time I come back to a white screen.... but then outta nowhere on that same screen it went back to normal brightness. auto brightness is off and so is that change screen tone thing. I don't get it?

REQ Sliding brightness mod

I was wondering if anyone could make a mod similar to cm brightness mod where you slide your finger across the status bar to dim or brighten the screen . Kinda like previous galaxy models did. thanks

You can use Display Brightness free from the app store. You can set it to slide you're finger anywhere on the screen to dim or brighten the screen.

Lock screen clock refreshes late

Anyone have an issue with the lock screen clock taking longer than usual to refresh? Say I turn my screen off at 6:05. If I turn on my screen back on at say 6:15, the lock screen clock will say 6:05 for a second, then switch to 6:15. Any known way to fix this?

Happens to me. I figured it was a screen-off profile written in the rom I use.
Mine does it too and I even have the latest firmware upgrade.

I see this too but don't mind it. If the phone is in deep sleep and not waking to update the clock, that saves me more battery power!

S4 screen flicker when multitasking

Anyone else have this? When in multitasking/open apps switching to apps like messages or email the screen flickers. I have tried the auto screen options changing them on and off but haven't had much luck finding a reason for it or way to change it. Suggestions welcome

I haven't seen that, perse, but I've noticed odd purple streaks when moving things on screen with dark backgrounds.
